After Zhou Yanxing turned around and left sadly.
Mrs. Zhou sighed helplessly again, "Girl Shu is different from others. Yanxing has worked hard to get where it is today and cannot be pushed to the forefront."
Mrs. Zhou thought so mostly because of Zhou Yanxing.
Shen Yunshu is not only the legitimate daughter of the General's Mansion, but may also inherit Liu Gong's family business in the future. Now she is also a popular and famous doctor, and the powerful officials in the court are bound to compete for it.
And the Zhou family only has a single member like Zhou Yanxing. If he does anything bad, neither Mrs. Zhou nor Mrs. Zhou can bear it.
"Girl Shu is very nice. I also want her to be the daughter-in-law of our Zhou family, but God does not follow people's wishes. In this life, the two of them have no fate."
"Mom, I understand." After Mrs. Zhou said this, Mrs. Zhou instantly understood her mother-in-law's good intentions, "Daughter-in-law, please help Yanxing look for someone as soon as possible."
But to be honest, she still felt a little regretful and distressed for Zhou Yanxing.
——
In Prince Zhan's Mansion, Xiao Jingzhi was playing chess in the courtyard.
"Your Majesty, the young general wants to see you." Steward Rong came to report.
Shen Yunjue?
Xiao Jingzhi paused, as if a little surprised.
He held the white chess piece in his hand, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Let him come in."
Soon, Shen Yunjue came to Xiao Jingzhi, and he bowed his hands to Xiao Jingzhi.
Xiao Jingzhi continued to stare at the chess game in front of him, as if waiting for Shen Yunjue to speak.
"Has the prince met the general's sister two days ago?"
Shen Yunjue had witnessed Xiao Jingzhi's treatment of his subordinates many times. He held a sharp knife and cut off their hands and feet in cold blood, causing screams and wailing.
Finally, Xiao Jingzhi's ruthless dagger pierced their chests, and the moment blood splashed on his face, it was like seeing a devil from hell.
And when he completed this set of flowing movements, his face showed nothing but indifference.
For a long time, his mind and ears were filled with such bloody and miserable images and sounds.
Xiao Jingzhi is a murderous, ruthless and cold-blooded demon.
But for Shen Yunshu, he had to come to see Xiao Jingzhi.
Xiao Jingzhi raised her cold eyes and said, "So what if I see you, so what if you don't see me?"
Shen Yunjue clenched his fists, "Yunshu has always been simple-minded. If Yunshu has offended the prince in any way, I will apologize to the prince here. Please show me your kindness."
"Young General, what do you mean, let me stay away from your sister?" Xiao Jingzhi's voice was low and cold.
"There are so many women in the world, why would the prince set his sights on Yun Shu." Although Shen Yunjue was afraid that Xiao Jing would get angry and kill him at the next moment, he still wanted to give it a try.
Xiao Jingzhi just sat there, his aura was too cold. After a long time, he said quietly: "Young General, you don't think that this king likes your sister, do you?"
As he spoke, he raised the corners of his lips sarcastically, "Why does the young general think that your sister can catch my eye?"
But after saying this, his hand holding the chess piece tightened a little tighter.
Although these words were unpleasant to listen to, they at least let Shen Yunjue know that Xiao Jingzhi had no interest in Shen Yunshu.
"Those who don't understand her will certainly not understand her beauty." He bowed his hands and saluted, "I am going to be abrupt at the end of the day. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
"Still not leaving?" A cold light fell on Xiao Jingzhi's eyes, "Doesn't the young general want to stay for dinner?"
"I will leave at the end." Shen Yunjue turned around and left without hesitation.
After walking out of Prince Zhan's Mansion, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and muttered: "Scared me to death."
However, his hanging heart was finally settled.
However, Xiao Jingzhi lost interest in playing chess.
When Xin Heng stepped forward and handed him the towel, the white chess piece in his hand had turned into powder.
He threw the powder in his hand away in the wind. He was wondering, did Shen Yunshu also think that he should not appear in front of her?
"Your Majesty, Miss Shen has investigated clues about He Shangshu, but the important clues have not yet been found." Xin Heng informed Xiao Jingzhi of the matter.
"The key is to wait until the last moment to surface." Xiao Jingzhi wiped her hands, "What's going on with Zeng Shangshu?"
"Zeng Shangshu made an appointment with several ministers of the DPRK to have a drink at Zuichun Tower tonight."
Xiao Jingzhi re-examined the current chess game, "He sent Shen Yunshu to the Tai Hospital in such a hurry. It seems that that person's condition was concealed."
"I will send someone to investigate right now."
"No need." Xiao Jingzhi put the chess pieces in the chess box, "Shen Yunshu must have known about it. It doesn't matter whether he investigates or not."
If Shen Yunshu didn't know about this, she wouldn't take the risk.
Xiao Jingzhi stood up and said, "If there is one missing chess piece, it will not be a complete chess piece after all, and if there is another piece, it will not become the same chess game just now."
Xin Heng understood immediately, "Your Majesty, do you want to wait and see what happens?"
"The Queen is about to take action, let's see how they respond first."
Xiao Jingzhi never thought that this game of chess in the Daqing Imperial Court would have so many changes with the addition of Shen Yunshu.
But it also means that it is impossible for Shen Yunshu to escape.
And the chess game planned by Shen Yunshu may be bigger than he imagined.
The next day, Zeng Fengwu's birthday party came as scheduled.
Shen Yunshu had breakfast before going slowly.
When she arrived, the interior and exterior of Shangshu Mansion was bustling with people.
"Miss Shen, why are you here?" Qin Qianqian waited at the door for a long time, "If you don't come, I will be embarrassed to death."
"If I don't come, what will Miss Qin do?" Shen Yunshu deliberately joked.
"I am the least sociable. If Miss Shen doesn't come, I will leave if I find an opportunity." Qin Qianqian smiled, "But now that Miss Shen is here, I will naturally stay a little longer."
Seeing such innocent Qin Qianqian, Shen Yunshu didn't seem to feel so heavy anymore.
Zeng Fengwu heard the servant's report and came over, "I thought Miss Shen wasn't coming."
"Since I have agreed, how could I not come?" Shen Yunshu smiled lightly.
Zeng Fengwu glanced at Song Zhiyun, who was not far away and was deliberately avoiding Shen Yunshu, "Sister Yun, Miss Shen is here, why don't you come and say hello?"
At the beginning, Song Zhiyun treated Shen Yunshu as her own sister and defended her at every turn. People even joked that Song Zhiyun treated Shen Yunshu better than her brother.
But the marriage between Song Xiuche and Shen Yunshu has fallen through. Zeng Fengwu wants to see if Song Zhiyun can still face Shen Yunshu like before?
After Song Zhiyun noticed that everyone's eyes were on her, she walked over as if nothing had happened.
"I was invited to celebrate Sister Zeng's birthday, not to deal with other people."
One sentence clarified her current relationship with Shen Yunshu.
Song Zhiyun looked at Shen Yunshu disdainfully, "Miss Shen came so late. She must have prepared a very special birthday gift for Sister Zeng, right?"
Seeing that Shen Yunshu was unmoved, she directly tried to snatch the brocade box from Chunrou's hand.
Bang!
The brocade box was thrown to the ground, and the contents in the box fell out.
Suddenly, there was a burst of ridicule and discussion.
"A piece of wood?"
"It's too shabby."
"How can you do this?"
